Fine watches, precious stones and metals, rings and women’s jewelry are the types of jewelry accepted for loans with certain terms and conditions. The customer needs to bring in the jewelry they would like to use as a collateral and have it assessed. The amount of the loan is based on the value of the jewelry. Each piece is examined on the spot right in front of the customer. Once the customer has agreed to the loan, the item is secured safe by the jewelry store.

The term loan lasts for 90 days. If it's not convenient for the customers to pick up their jewelry within 90 days, they can rewrite the loan by paying the interest due, and then have another 90 day period. On the payment of the principle and interest of the loan, the customers receive their jewelry back. However, if the customers choose not to get their items back, the loan defaults and the items go out for sale without any affect on their credit rating.

All pawn shops and jewelry lenders are strictly regulated by the State of Washington. Unlike traditional loans, the interest rates are explicitly set by the state. To get a jewelry loan, the customer needs a state issued ID or other picture ID. There is no credit check required. The loan amount is paid in cash. The process typically takes only a few minutes.
